Glastir Management Options Land Use Code Table This Section applies to those who hold Glastir Entry, Advanced and Woodland Management Contracts only.

You are advised to refer to the management options as set out within your Glastir Contract and contract summary before you complete the Field Data section of the SAF. This table provides examples of land use/crop codes that can be used for land under a Glastir Management Option. You should use the codes that correctly describe that land cover as at 15 May 2018. Ensure that all Permanent Features (e.g. rocks, trees, ponds and sand, etc.) within the parcel are also declared.

The final three columns of the table show whether the option is applicable to Glastir Entry, Glastir Advanced, or Glastir Woodland Management. Important: Codes for capital work options should only be used once the work has been completed. Prior to the completion of the capital works the crop/land use codes that correctly describe the land cover should be used, as listed in Annex 3. The SAF also includes a section which allows you to declare whether you have undertaken the work required to meet each Glastir Management Option for 2018 as set out in your Glastir Contract. Please note that if you have indicated you have not completed your Management Option, a scheme breach penalty may be applicable unless we have received and agreed a derogation or a change to your Contract has been agreed. For land entered into an eligible afforestation scheme:

For land entered into an eligible afforestation scheme, if the land gave right to SPS payment in 2008 and was eligible for SPS or BPS when it was first planted, it can be considered eligible for BPS during the period it is subject to the terms and conditions of your Contract.

PLTD New woodland, planted since 2015

* For Farm Woodland Premium Scheme your Contract may include the period after your annual payments have been made when you are prevented from felling those trees. Land where trees have been planted under the above afforestation Contracts must use one of the following codes

BW1– Broadleaf Woodland (Stock Excluded) – To be used if the area gave rise to SPS payment in 2008 and the land under Contract is in an eligible management option.

CW1 – Coniferous Woodland (Stock Excluded) – To be used if the area gave rise to SPS payment in 2008 and the land under Contract is in an eligible management option.

WS1 – Broadleaf Woodland (Stock Excluded) – To be used if the area did not give rise to SPS payment in 2008 or the land under Contract is not in an eligible management option.

TR2 – Coniferous Woodland (Stock Excluded) – To be used if the area did not give rise to SPS payment in 2008 or the land under Contract is not in an eligible management option.

Eligibility for BPS under these afforestation schemes is only available for ‘new planting’. If you hold one of these agreements you should check whether your Contract contains one of the ‘new planting’ options for that land.

ISBN: 978-1-78903-668-8 4

If you declare the land as BW1/CW1 and our checks discover your Contract does not contain an eligible option the land will not be eligible for BPS payment and over-declared penalties will be applied. Once your afforestation commitment finishes you cannot continue to declare the land for BPS, either declare WS1 or another of the woodland codes. Land entered into Natural Resources Wales (NRW) Management Agreements

Some of your land may have been designated as a Site of Special Scientific Interest (SSSI) by Natural Resources Wales (or its predecessor), including special areas of conservation or special protection areas. The management policy that has been agreed will explain the reasons and include specific management regimes that you are required to undertake. In some instances this could include excluding stock from grazing certain areas. Since land can be considered eligible for BPS if you undertake minimum agricultural activities, including maintaining the land in a state suitable for grazing and cultivation (see Section B of this booklet), land under NRW management agreements will be assessed against the BPS land eligibility rules. You should declare the land cover code that best reflects the condition of the land on 15 May each year, e.g. GR2 for permanent grassland or ZZ11 for groups of broadleaved trees. You should not declare woodland areas as BW1/CW1 if those areas are included in a NRW management agreement, as this could result in an over-declared penalty when our checks discover the management agreement does not prevent the land being eligible for BPS.

You must declare a land use code to claim for your Glastir management options, if you declare an incompatible code your Glastir claim will be reduced and penalties may be applied.

Rough grass margin (fixed) Rough grass margin (rotational)

If the margin is to be adjacent to a root crop and therefore not established until after 15 May, you should declare the crop present on 15 May, but you will need to enter one of the following in the Secondary Crop column on the SAF; FA4 – Fallow – grass sown if the margin has been established on existing arable land, or GR9 – Permanent grassland (stock excluded) if the margin has been established on existing pasture. FM1 - Field Margins OR If the margin has been established by 15 May, you should use; FA4 – Fallow – grass sown if the margin has been established on existing arable land, or GR9 – Permanent grassland (stock excluded) if the margin has been established on existing pasture. FM1 – Field Margins From the second year of this Management Option; If this margin has been rotated from the previous year, enter the crop codes as described above. If the margin has been retained in the same location from the previous year FA4 or GR9 (or FM1) should be used accordingly depending on whether the margin was originally established on existing arable land or existing pasture.
